  • Eye Floaters: What They Are, When to Worry & What Actually Works

    Eye Floaters: What They Are, When to Worry & What Actually Works
    Feb 5 2025

    Episode Summary

    Have you ever noticed tiny specks, squiggles, or cobweb-like shadows drifting across your vision? Do they move when you try to focus on them? Are they just annoying, or could they be a sign of something serious?

    In this episode, Dr. Rupa Wong breaks down everything you need to know about eye floaters, including:

    ✅ What floaters actually are (hint: they’re not dust or dead cells floating in your eye)

    ✅ What happens to your vitreous gel as you age—and why it leads to floaters

    ✅ The different types of floaters (Weiss rings, collagen strands, hemorrhagic floaters)

    ✅ When to worry – warning signs that mean you should see an eye doctor ASAP

    ✅ Real medical treatments that work, including:

    • YAG laser vitreolysis – can you actually zap away floaters?

    • Vitrectomy – the only cure, but is it worth the risks?

    ✅ What doesn’t work – debunking viral home remedies like castor oil & eye drops

    ✅ The pineapple connection – is there any truth to the idea that bromelain in pineapple helps dissolve floaters?

    If you’ve ever been frustrated by floaters or wondered what can be done about them, this episode is for you!
